The New Orleans Saints will soon be in the market for a new wide receiver to help quarterback Drew Brees. Will Randy Moss be the surprise solution?

The recently unretired Moss did his part in selling himself to them after he "lit it up" working out for team officials on Tuesday, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. Via Twitter, Glazer reported Moss "looked like the old Randy" after running 45 routes in front of multiple evaluators, leaving those in attendance "floored."

On Monday, Fox Sports reported Moss would be brought in by the Saints to show his wares, catching passes from former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brian Brohm.

The Saints are in a free-agent jam at wide receiver, with both go-to guy Marques Colston and speedster Robert Meachem about to hit the open market next week. If Moss can still run well enough to consistently stretch the field, he would give them a cheap, low-risk alternative to potentially compensate for those departures.

Moss announced his intentions to come out of his brief retirement from the NFL on Feb. 13, his 35th birthday. That initial news caused intrigue around the league, but many teams — including the four for which he previously played, the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans — left their interest in Moss at that.

The Saints are the just the first stop for Moss, with two other unidentified team visits lined up for next week, ESPN reports.

With word of Moss wowing scouts with his skills, it likely will cause even more teams to be interested in him. It's no secret the New York Jets like taking chances on aging and mercurial receivers, and Moss fits both characteristics.
